Hey all! I recently got the itch to start playing it again and wanted to gauge how active it was at the moment. I saw the revival thing that started I think recently but I’m not super interested in that as I would mainly just want to do 60 stuff. I was on ally but wanted to try horde side if I did come back,so I could play a shaman since that’s what I wanted to play originally but couldn’t cause some friends wanted to do ally. Any info would great!

SOD on wildgrowth is doing really well, two streamers on the server and a decent small community like 600+ people, could always use some more.

That’s good to hear! Is there a decent pop on both sides? or is it primarily ally?
its primarily ally at the moment, i just checked out horde today, and its pretty dead for the most part
If only they’d let Horde and Alliance group up…if a 1.12.1 client can do it. Surely the WWI/Midnight client running Vanilla in compatibility mode can. xD
I’ll describe current SoD in two phrases..
It’s deader than a doornail
You’d find more cheer in a graveyard.

Crusader Strike NA horde is completely dead, about a week ago I logged on for the first time in almost a year to get my Khonsu Hardmode Sunglasses / Fiery Eyes and I couldn’t even get my SE boots enchanted with increased run speed it was that dead so I transfered over to Wild Growth NA. Wild Growth actually has people playing. Not a ton, but enough if you want to raid every week or join a leveling guild. I hear the Alliance side is a lot more populated than Horde.

As some have said already Wild Growth (PvE) has a mdoest resurgance.
There was a streamer that brought it back a month or 2 ago. Then there was another Round Alliance side that started 1 week ago. That latter one is planned out as 2 weeks per phase doing the level up raids.
A sister-guild of sorts popped up Horde side which started yesterday evening (Saturday, May 9th). I was playing on that and there were 130 people online in that guild for a while. I logged in and played again later in evening and when I off then (later at night West Coast NA timezone) there were 70-75 people online?
Most of the people on Wild Growth are Alliance, but there are some Horde.
The +150% (2.5x exp rate) experience boost and getting all runes at level 1 makes leveling very quick compared to normal x1.
Horde side is also doing the x2 weeks per leveling phase so there will be some people doing end game content in about ~6 weeks?
We’re all wishing Blizz would let us turn off our experience gain so we could pause and do BFD, Gnomer, ST without leveling up while doing them. But alas, there is no such option.
You’re welcome to join the Horde Side endevour- can whisper anyone in <Phase Locked> and you’ll get a ginvite.

I think I kinda screwed up the AV grind for people on either this toon or my rogue poster that AB was best grind for PvP honour rankings and made a detailed post about it, proving it. So not too long after that, people began to do AB instead of AV. AB is nowhere near as fun though and so PvP kinda began to die off. And the fact that they did not release the rank 15 that I myself and also many others thought was coming in. Could have been the City Protector title, or smt else. I have WoW Vanilla still in original box form that I bought it from so many years ago. The little booklet it came with even talks about a rank 15 for PvP and how that was part of the game but it never happened. The grind for it sounded super tremendously massive though. One version they proposed was that it was just one level above R14 and you stayed there once you got it, the other version was that it was also only for those who got to R14 but who did the most amount of PvP for that week and then the title would either stay on your toon if you kept doing the required PvP or would leave it when you did not. I like first version better where you actually keep it if you still PvP a little and not the one that you need to refresh every single week. There probably would have been about 10x as many Gliders out there in PvP if they actually did add it in so that is maybe a good thing that they did not. Still, an R15 CP that does NOT require a weekly refresh to keep it would be great.
they massively upgraded the reward for turning in AB tokens. I gave up at R12 after spending most ABs in the GY getting farmed by shaman raid bosses.

I can see that doing bfd, gnomer, and st with all runes and late game enchants would be some level of overpowered I think, especally with world buffs. People would probably go mostly to gnomer or bfd with a few to st.
Been looking to join both a guild on both factions. I’m an altoholic, casual player looking for a fun group to run with and maybe see a raid or 2 since I didn’t when it was current content. My “main” for all intents and purposes is a 51 warlock horde side.
